  1. Pine Grove Furnace State Park to Toms Run and Birch Run Shelter


    This was a great hike ~20 miles one way from Pine Grove Furnace State Park to Caledonia State Park. We stopped half way at Birch Run Shelter. Parking is plentiful at Pine Grove Furnace. To park overnight, you need to fill out a pass which is available in the plastic box next to the front door of the office. The pass goes in the mail slot after you fill it out. Parking is just down the hill and there is a restroom right there where the Appalachian ...

  2. Caledonia State Park to Rocky Mountain and Tumbling Run Shelters


    Continuing my sections and starting to migrate North again now that I've almost finished SNP. This was a great hike ~22 miles in and out from Caledonia State Park to Tumbling Run Shelters. There is not really any good water source between these two points on the AT. The guide says there is water 0.5 miles downhill at Rocky Mountain shelters but it was too far for me to investigate given the time I had. The tent sites are a hundred yards or so downhill ...

  3. Beagle Gap – Calf Mountain Hut and Spring – Shenandoah National Park


    The view at Little Calf Mountain is outstanding, as is the easy 1 mile hike to it from Beagle Gap. There is ample parking at the Beagle Gap parking area in-between mile posts 99 and 100 on Skyline Drive in SNP.

I thought the shelter was a lot closer (it is, ...

  4. Paul C. Wolfe Shelter – Appalachian Trail – Albright Loop Trail


    Happy New Year! Another 3 miles down (and back) - 1991.8 to go! This was a quick 2 day hike where I wanted to get some practice in very cold conditions again. The weather did not disappoint, it was 1°F! I parked at the Humpback Rocks parking area on the Blueridge Parkway and hiked a short 3.6 miles to the Paul C. Wolfe Shelter to set up camp. Total loop distance, including down to the shelter, is 6.4 miles. The shelter has great water and privy. ...

  5. Blackrock Summit, Hut, and Spring - Shenandoah National Park


    This is the section south of the Falls over Blackrock Summit and to the Hut. Blackrock hut is nondescript and has an unreliable water source. I liked the area anyway and the surrounding hikes over Blackrock and around Doyles River Falls and Jones Run Falls are very good! Distance hiked this weekend was 14.2 miles.
